Thanks Stephan,

        Your suggestion had motivated me and I wrote the code, after RTFM.

Sameer,

I didn't scheduled the job on OS because this should an Oracle Job, log switching has nothing to do with OS (you don't trouble a company GM when the work should be done by a Normal Manager right??). And you need to handle the error conditions of OS when your DB is down, which is eliminated in this case.

Any-way thanks to all,
Rajesh

And-yes, the code is like this:

create or replace PROCEDURE SWITCH1 IS

  c       number;
  d       number;

begin
  c := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
  dbms_sql.parse(c, 'alter system switch logfile', 1);   d := dbms_sql.execute(c);
  dbms_sql.close_cursor(c);
commit ;
END; -----Original Message-----

Look in the doc for the dbms_sql package. Hardly more complicated than 'execute immediate' for DDL (you declare a handler for the cursor, then it's done in two calls, parse and execute).
